Few ICs receive approval on their first submission. However, ICs that do not receive approval always receive feedback from the committee to help you revise and edit your proposal should you resubmit. We aim to make Independent Concentrations happen, not prevent them from happening!
About 50 - 70% of proposals are eventually approved annually; some students begin the process during one academic year and then have their IC approved the following year. Most students who were not approved were allowed to resubmit but decided not to. Students are strongly encouraged to come to the CRC to discuss their feedback and the committee’s decision in more detail before resubmitting.
